Broken fifth metatarsal left foot

[physiobob]

Hi Barb. This sounds fair and I assume you are already on two crutches so your question relates to the progression to one? If yes then the crutch you should use is in the opposite hand to the injured foot. This is so you don't develop a limp. If in any doubt of course drop your consultant a line and ask the question. You don't need an appointment for the answer.

Thanks Bob. Yes, want to go from 2 to 1 crutch. Unfortunateley my consultant has not yet responded to some questions (fairly general - but I've never broken a bone in my foot before so important to me) that his secretary passed to him 2 weeks ago. I assume he is very, very busy!
